Well, of course we should read and understand other languages, but it is a reality that each language has its blind spots...But this is normal, this is human nature.

For Fanon, being colonized by a language had larger implications for one's political consciousness: "To speak . . . means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization" (BSWM 17-18). Speaking French means that one accepts, or is coerced into accepting, the collective consciousness of the French.'
